Thank you
Tibetan people's diet is slightly different in pastoral areas and agricultural areas, but they have the same hobbies. They all like to eat green noodles, butter tea, beef, mutton, and dairy products.
In the past, there was very little food in the pastoral areas, and meat and dairy products were quite scarce. Yuba was also ground coarsely. They did not eat vegetables, and regarded vegetables as weeds. They lived in water and had no fixed diet. They ate when they were hungry and drank when they were exhausted.
Eat well and drink well during the peak season, and eat well during the off-season.
Nowadays, life in pastoral areas has greatly improved. To judge how wealthy a family is, it mainly depends on the amount of grain reserves, rather than the amount of meat and milk reserves, because these things are abundant and not rare.
Herdsmen like to cook meat in white water, put large pieces of bone-in meat into the pot, and cook the meat until it is half cooked, then take it out and eat it.
When eating, grab the meat with one hand and hold the knife with the other to slice the meat into pieces, leaving clean bones.
Use the breast meat and the meat between the ribs to serve guests.
The argali's tail should be honored to honor the distinguished guests, and a tower of white wool symbolizing good luck should be left on the tail.
The heads and shanks of cattle and sheep are reserved for home consumption.
The meat from the shoulder bone is eaten by old people with bad teeth. If a young man eats this meat at his girlfriend's house, it means that the woman has acquiesced in their marriage.
The representative food of the Tibetan people: Qingke noodles, called dregs in Tibetan.
It is a fine flour made by frying and grinding green trees. It is white in color and fragrant in flavor. When traveling far away, you always need to bring ghee and dregs with you. You can put the noodles directly into your mouth and eat them, which is called dry xiba.
When eating sesame cake at home, boil the milk tea and pour it into a bowl. Add the butter and milk residue. After it melts, add the cake powder and quickly stir it evenly with the four fingers of your right hand to form a small ball.
Taking a group tour, eating together, and drinking milk tea. These are the Tibetan food culture that you must understand when traveling to Tibet.
